Best Overthrows Poems


Premium Member Batter Up
She comes to bat with the score tied three to three.
Staring out at the pitcher,
she goes into her stance, 
just hoping the ball will come over the sweet part of the plate.
Into her motion, the pitcher winds and fires.
Gathering all of her strength, 
her eyes...

Spring Awakenings

 
As the earth dances in a stately minuet about its celestial lover      
Bringing forth in its progression a season of rebirth and colour

Conferring on the land and air an anticipation of sweet romance
Dawn lights the clear blue sky as...

Rapture
Let us embrace
the dark
with love and rapture.

With a passion
that overthrows life
a riot in our hearts.

Light a candle
we feel
the vibration
coming from the flame.

It burns it's way
into our psyche
clear as a crystal
we possess an eagles eye.

I lay bare before you
feeling content
loving you
in your nakedness...

Reflections On Truth
In solitary silence i commune with my own heart,
And diligently consider its questions and awnsers,
It declares to me that all real questions have real awnsers.
Truth offers herself to all who enquire after her.
If insulted she will look for better company,
From better dispositions and warmer hospitality.

She...

Pentecost (As Simon Peter)
Parler en d’autre langues im Gott der Geiste 
Ecstatically, I will elaborate.
Not knowing Joel’s visions you suppose
That we are drunk this morn.  Don’t be enticed.
Evaluate... wine does not cause this trait.
Commitment to this cause that overthrows
Our roaring lion leads us on.  As Christ
So...

The Decline of America
You see it everywhere
The unmistakable signs

That the decline of America 
Is in full swing

As the world leaders turn away
From dealing with the US 

And we have gone past the tipping point
There is nowhere left to go
But downward 

As the Empire begins to collapse
Victim of imperial...

Game of Cricket Is a Game of Life
Life is not cricket: though a game of cricket reflects life 
It portrays real-life conditions; from cradle to urn 
Starting with toss of a coin; ends in pulling bails off
Just as cricket life is simply a game of twists and turns 
Cricket depicts aptitudes, attitudes...

Dreaming 'Land of the Irish Isles' Part 1
It's a brilliant and starry night,
The moon overthrows it's light,
As shadows dance across the warm wet earth,
Like fairies illuminating the murky forests,
With their otherworldly glow,
Playing hide-and-seek,
Beneath the toadstools,
And the hollows of sleeping flowers,
It is quite mesmerizing.

Think of vast emerald green hills,
Rolling towards the sea for...

Money
Mere means of being master of all labor, this power
Overthrows all virtue, and write the metered history
Nations spin web in web, and now it is the cocoon hour
Emerge the spider on spindly legs from calyx tragedy
Yelping bankers and their merchants billed for all wars

Consumers credit...

My Countless Wishes -Part 2-
I wish
To demolish my sorrow…
I wish
To forget the despair and gleefully grow…
To forgive and seek the challenges of tomorrow…
My downfalls and my failures…
I wish
To disappear
I wish
I had no fear…
For God’s near…
I wish
I could be a cheetah in the grassland
I wish
To store all of my energy...

I Mind
I do not think my mind 
Is like he used to be;
He used to chat with me;
Contradict and chide me;
Play cunning wit, puzzle, 
Chuckle with, amuse me.
But now he's darker;
He hides things from me;
No longer open,
Like he used to be.
When he speaks to me;
Commands me...

When Folly Is Wisdom
When man turns into bandit,
and thinks folly is wisdom,
to govern the republic,
he overthrows own government,
he bitterly desires to hang on.

On his tomb shall be scribbled;
“Here lies the dull man
who was bitter with himself,
hugged and kissed  adversary,
to occupy this palace.”...

Difficulties Arise
It's difficult to function
In the midst of destruction
Peace, come to us in time of need
Give graciously, wave 'bye to greed

Let me function all on my own
Your devices are going to crumble...down...
Get me out of this cage of alone
Your malice chases away the humble...in this strange...

First Time Around
A smile on her face
and a gleam in her eye,
zeal gets her on first.

Next play, pure luck
pitcher overthrows second.
She's half-way round.

Third batter bunts;
